Are public officers supposed to be poor?

What is wrong with a public servant owning a matatu, flats, houses, land, having cash in the bank etc? Judging from the police vetting, it appears like its a crime for a public officer to own anything. I have seen many enterprising public officers who are making quite some money, from business etc not stealing from govt.

But if the rich are evil, then the poor must be equally evil. How can the public servant be rich without being evil, when the poor citizen has condemned himself?

Nope. They just need to account for their wealth logically. That is why you can see they are looking at both the assets and liabilities. Eg...if you own pieces of land and you took a loan at a sacco or its an inheritance from your dad, why would anyone want to ask you about it? In fact, the ones they are paying attention to are those whose sources dont really make sense or those that people out there have claimed they own yet they have not declared them. You remember like for King'ori Mwangi there was someone who had said he owns matatus, hotels and a rental apartment at Roysambu yet he had not declared them.

Followed the Vetting and sometimes found the Questions and answers very Funny.. Question: Mr Mwangi Kingori, Is it true that you have an estate within Zimmerman. Answer: I am not aware. and if I have sir, the tenants can stop paying rent. Question: Mr Mwangi Kingori, Do you own BELLA VISTA Restaurant? Answer: There are many people called Kingori. Its not Mine sir, and if it is, you can go have lunch for free. Question: Mr Gideon Kimilu, Do you have a house in your Makueni Land. Answer: Of course I do not live under a tree sir... Who really is the other's boss here??  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

I think some of them are damn rich that a threat of a mare retirement is inconsequential. They already know(at least some) that they are headed home and hence Kavulundi can go take free lunch if he is man enough. If today they are retired most of them will be given meager pension compared to their net worth. In any case do you expect any of them to be taken to court to account for their wealth? None!

I found some of them quite enterprising like the one who said he's selling water at tassia making 10k per day, and has contracted tractors to Mumias sugar, and used to farm 100+ acres of wheat in narok and has leased lorries to some mining company, among various other business. He must be making over 2m per month.

There was one who pleaded with the panel to forgive some of the small mistakes they could have done coz if he is fired, he will just die. "You will start seeing us on the obituaries pages..." He said.

It is whispered in certain circles Kingori is a Mason.I would be surprised if he fails the vetting.He takes care of many interests!!!!!

They are just being asked to justify how they got the assets where the mathematics is not adding up.
BBI will solve it :)

Do they follow up on the explanations or does it end after the cop explains himself.
